"We Are The Dinosaurs"

We are the dinosaurs, marching, marching
We are the dinosaurs, whaddaya think of that?
We are the dinosaurs, marching, marching
We are the dinosaurs, we make the earth flat
We make the earth flat.

We stop and eat our food, when we're in the mood
We stop and eat our food on the ground
We stop and eat our food, when we're in the mood
We stop and eat our food and then we march around
Cause...

We are the dinosaurs, marching, marching
We are the dinosaurs, whaddaya think of that?
We are the dinosaurs, marching, marching
We are the dinosaurs, we make the earth flat
We make the earth flat.

We stop and take a rest, over in our nest
We stop and take a rest at the end of the day
We stop and take a rest, over in our nest
We stop and take a rest and then you'll hear us say
That...

We are the dinosaurs, marching, marching
We are the dinosaurs, whaddaya think of that?
We are the dinosaurs, marching, marching
We are the dinosaurs, we make the earth flat
We make the earth flat.

And then we ROAR!
Cause we are the dinosaurs!!

"Here Kitty Kitty"

When you're a cat, you do as you please
Take a bunch of naps, climb a few trees
Rub on my ankle, make me sneeze
Life is like that, when you're a cat.

And everybody goes "here kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty
Here kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty
Here kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty cat
Can you do that? (repeat)

When you're a cat, you're covered in fur
Drink a bunch of milk, makes you purr
You dream about fishes, mice and birds
Life is like that, when you're a cat.

And everybody goes "here kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty
Here kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty
Here kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty cat
Can you do that? (repeat)
Repeat this 5x faster and faster each time...
